Original article (Thu 4 February 2021 16:30 GMT): Nintendo has announced that they are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Fire emblem by presenting a special video featuring various voice actors from previous games in the series.
The video will be released on February 8 and features a series of ‘candid, in-depth discussions’ with seven actors from the franchise’s history. The stars in question are Cherami Leigh (Caeda, Mae, Rhea), Chris Hackney (Boey, Quan, Dimitri), Billy Kametz (Ferdinand Von Aegir), Christian La Monte (Seliph, Roderick, Ignatz), Patrick Seitz (Fehnix), Xanthe Huynh (Eir, Marianne) and Ray Chase (Roy, Alfonse, Gaius).
Of course, the festivities actually started towards the end of last year, when Nintendo released a reissue of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, the very first game in the series, on Switch. That game also saw a super cute ‘Fire Emblem 30’de Jubilee issue’s physical release – it’s just a shame it’s only made available for a limited time.
